STOP TALKING ABOUT THE PENGUINS NOT PROTECTING FLEURY!
LOL!!! The interesting thing is...as it stands they HAVE to protect Fleury because he has a NTC, which means they can't protect Murray. So, it's really going to piss off RooseDave whey they take extra measures to trade Fleury (or however they manage it) to make sure they can protect Murray, cause there's no way they want to lose him...and there's no question that if he's left unprotected that Vegas will take him.
-
The real question is how strong is Dav...errr..Roosevelt's man-crush on Fleury compared to his love for his favorite team? When the Penguins have to trade Fleury so they can protect Murray in the expansion draft, will his Fleury love trump his Penguins love and he'll now be a fan of the new team that Fleury ends up on? Or will he still be a Penguins fan all the while hating Murray and Sullivan and I suppose by that time Jim Rutherford as well?

Ahem...*cough cough*
ANA 4 5 6 7 7 6 5 4 NASH
The Sicatoka had Anaheim in 7...he was off by 2 plus had the wrong team, so he picks up 4 strokes.
Ray77 had Nashville in 7...he was off by 1 with the correct team, so he picks up 1 stroke.The Sicatoka now leads Ray77 42 to 44.
We both had Pittsburgh in 6, so no matter what happens we'll gain the same amount of strokes...so going into the Finals it's going to be a 2 stroke difference.

Eaves, Getzlaff, Kesler, Perry and Fowler knocked out last night. Below is today's update, with players remaining. If the Penguins knock out the Senators tonight, Engineer is our winner. All bets are off if the Senators can force a Game 7 and possibly win the series - then we'll have a race on our hands between KoolGuy2K and Shawn-O (advantage Shawn-O), with Engineer most likely taking 3rd.

What is it with the Penguins fans on this site? Do you have to be "that kind of fan" to cheer for the Penguins? And no, I don't lump you in @snova4! But some of the stuff I've read on here the past couple of days just blows my mind...

This should cost Sullivan his job. Absolutely disgusting!!! This is almost as bad as the politics in youth hockey where certain kids get the majority of playing time without having done a damn thing to earn it. Murray is a spoiled brat and Sullivan is his enabler. I can't wait till the day when both of those two pieces of garbage are as far away from the city of Pittsburgh as possible. I hope the Sens light up that little punk tonight.
WHOA! That escalated quickly!

The Sicatoka and Engineer are the only 2 that gain a point with Kessel's goal last night. Another thing I've been wondering - there are those of us (like me) that didn't think the Penguins would get this far so didn't take any Penguins on our team. But for those that did, how could you not take Malkin?!?!?!!

I know The Sicatoka started the Playoffs Game, but I wanted to start a thread to just talk playoff hockey, starting with this...potential Sioux to get their name etched on the Stanley Cup.
Chicago Blackhawks - Jonathan Toews and Nick Schmaltz
Minnesota Wild - Zach Parise
St. Lous Blues - Jordan Schmaltz
Edmonton Oilers - Drake Caggulia
San Jose Sharks - Aaron Dell
Boston Bruins - Drew Stafford and Zane McIntyre
Washington Capitals - TJ Oshie and Taylor Chorney
Pittsburgh Penguins - Carter Rowney
Am I missing anyone? If this is the comprehensive list, there are 11 former Sioux in the running, on 8 of the 16 teams that made the playoffs. Quite impressive!
Now that the Conference Finals are set, only Carter Rowney remains. And let me say, he had a great game last night. He's a big part of their penalty kill and it'll be interesting to see how much icetime he gets during the Conference Finals.

So apparently Rob Rossi is a reporter from Pittsburgh and he was the one asking Trotz the question about the play last night. This is unbelievable...what a douche!
This guy just breathed a big sigh of relief!
That was actually a very good game which i thought Washington controlled for the most part...until the end. They had a ton of chances and just couldn't corral the puck.
Now buckle up for tonight's Oiler/Ducks game!

I missed by 4 slots and wrong team so +8 for me.
Ray missed by 3 slots and wrong team so +6 for him.The Sicatoka now leads Ray77 34 to 38.
Well, that pulled me 2 strokes closer...
Possible scenarios for tonight (let me know if these numbers aren't correct):
Anaheim wins - Sic +2, Ray +1
Edmonton wins - Sic +6, Ray +4
Washington wins - Sic +0, Ray +1
Pittsburgh wins - Sic +2, Ray +4 -

2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs
in Non-collegiate sports

I think you can rule out B (Ben Bishop), and I think you can rule out C (reasons below) and I honestly think you can rule out D. I don't see how the Penguins will be able to keep both Fleury and Murray, and I think Murray is the clear choice for them for many reasons (mainly age and current contract).
It's going to be really interesting to see how Rutherford handles this after the playoffs. Because of Fleury's modified NTC he'd have to protect him in the expansion draft. That'd mean that he would/could lose Murray to Vegas and get nothing in return. He could also negotiate with Vegas to not take Murray, and then give them some other kind of compensation instead, but again he's losing an asset (or assets) for nothing - or more realistically to keep both Fleury and Murray.
I think what we'll see is that it's going to be in the Penguins best interests to work a trade for Fleury and get something in return, therefore allowing them to protect Murray. To do this, Fleury would have to list 18 teams that he can be traded to. That means that he could rule out someone like Calgary if he didn't want to play there. The only way Vegas would get Fleury is if he OK'd it, and Vegas was on his "18 team list" (cause they can't select him in the expansion draft). Heck, maybe that's what happens - Fleury OK's to waive the NTC (or puts Vegas on his list) and Vegas does end up with him.
I'm guessing that Rutherford works a deal to trade Fleury to another team before the expansion draft to get assets in return and protects Murray. In that case, I'll go with Option A, E, F or G above, and probably cross off G as they won't want him in the same division, leaving us with A, E or F.
